Description
Ankush Kawali and coauthors reply in 2026 to criticism of their study on steroid injections for serpiginous-like choroiditis, an eye inflammation linked to tuberculosis. Critics had raised worries about missing patients and uneven treatment. The reply sets out records for the 18 cases left out of the main analysis.
Ten excluded patients stopped attending within days of injection, while eight had shorter follow-up without recorded early failure or serious harm. Several showed early clearing on eye imaging within that brief window. The authors hold that a six-month minimum was needed to judge healing, return of disease, and side effects fairly.
